It's no longer available here in the US, and from what I gather a version of it, at 5 ABV, is contract brewed in Canada for North America, but it is NOT Guinness. That's probably what I bought all those years ago.<BR/><BR/>Had I known the 7.5 ABV was available in The Bahamas, I would've consumed copious amounts of the stuff when I was there in November! Ah well, looks like another trip to the UK is in order.Sham aka Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329116400656617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-31505153282052209152009-03-18T21:18:00.000-04:002009-03-18T21:18:00.000-04:00Looks like they aren't selling it in the US at the...Looks like they aren't selling it in the US at the moment. According to the official website:<BR/><BR/><I>Foreign Extra Stout is a beer like no other. The most full-flavoured of all. Singular and striking. Uniquely satisfying. Brewed with extra hops and roasted barley for a natural bite. Bitter and sweet. Refreshingly crisp taste. Always rewarding.</I><BR/><BR/>It also has an ABV of 7.5%, a fact that was not initially apparent to me when I first had the pleasure. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646247954542936623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-56827570483796917872009-03-18T16:23:00.000-04:002009-03-18T16:23:00.000-04:00"another other bar".

I've never seen the stuff.<BR/><BR/>A couple years back I had the pleasure of taking the Guinness Storehouse tour in Dublin. Granted it's a tourist trap, but going with some non-drinkers allowed me to get a handful of perfectly poured pints at the Sky Bar and another other bar a floor down. Both had great views of the city.<BR/><BR/>They eventually had to drag me out by the ankles I was having so much fun.Sham aka Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329116400656617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-84662208402493265312009-03-18T13:02:00.000-04:002009-03-18T13:02:00.000-04:00Poor soul!

So, I figured I'll just take the wife out to dinner and enjoy a couple pints that way. No Dice. We wound up at a kid friendly place with no Guinness in sight. Ah well. They had Killian's which I refuse to drink, and had to settle on one of my default choices, Yuengling Lager (aka Yinger in some parts).Sham aka Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329116400656617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-18618808344282316582009-03-18T08:35:00.000-04:002009-03-18T08:35:00.000-04:00Good stuff; I actually forgot it was Saint Patrick...Good stuff; I actually forgot it was Saint Patrick's day yesterday, must have been why I had a hankering for Guinness... no wait, that's just situation normal. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646247954542936623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-64639161250571257282009-03-18T06:24:00.000-04:002009-03-18T06:24:00.000-04:00That is a pretty slick interpretation of the lepre...That is a pretty slick interpretation of the leprechaun, it will appear in my S&W game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-35477941718555616562009-03-18T02:11:00.000-04:002009-03-18T02:11:00.000-04:00Hmmm, maybe I'll replace halflings with leprechaun...Hmmm, maybe I'll replace halflings with leprechauns.Chad Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084711824869449643noreply@blogger.com
